A hero from the world of Fire Emblem Fates, Niles is a loyal retainer to Lord Leo--and a dedicated antagonist to just about everyone else. Niles survived a horrific childhood only to become a common thief--until he met Lord Leo. However, he still enjoys toying with the emotions of others. In combat, Niles is a feared archer. He can bring down enemies near and far in an instant, using stealthy skills honed by years of thievery.
